Disney World in April is also known as spring break at Disney World. If you are planning a stay at Disney World in the beginning of this month when the crowds will be heavier you are going to want to make sure you are diligent in putting together your plan. I recommend using our FREE printable daily Disney World planner.

While this month is busy and expected to see heavier crowds in 2019, due to Easter falling on April 21st, we still think April is a great time to come and visit. This is the last month before it gets scorching hot for the remainder of the summer. Also once the Easter crowds clear out the second half of the month is actually quite quiet here at Disney World.

The Weather in Disney World During April

Visiting during this month it’s important to keep a close watch on the weather forecast leading up to your trip. The weather on average ranges from the overnight lows of around 55 to the daytime highs around 83. It’s a good idea to pack as you would for summer during this month. The temperatures are warm in April and it can get quite toasty. It’s a pretty good bet that you are going to be wearing a lot of shorts and tee shirts during this month and don’t forget to pack the sunscreen. As always it’s a good idea to check the weather forecast before you leave.

Disney World Events in April

Epcot’s International Flower and Garden Festival

The Flower and Garden Festival at Epcot is one of my favorite times of the year to visit. Though my allergies will disagree with that statement, it’s worth the sniffles to see the topiaries. The displays are just stunning and something you want to get a chance to experience at least once.

The 2019 dates for the Epcot Flower and Garden Festival are March 6th through June 3rd. Of course every year the festivals at Epcot seemingly get longer and longer! For a look at last year’s Flower and Garden read our coverage!

More Disney Trip Planning Tips

I have been visiting the parks annually since my parents first brought me at just a year old. Recently I was able to fulfill my life long dream of being a Florida local and moved from the wintery Northeast to the sunshine and fun of central Florida. Now I am hoping to share my Disney knowledge with you so you can have the best vacation possible!
